Hi Currently I am trying to get device-mapper and dmraid ported to compile against klibc. So far there was no real issues, as the only thing they used was fscanf and feof not available presently in klibc (but easy to work around). Other than that there are really no way to easily check for installed klibc's other than trying to mangle the output of klcc (from adjusted configure.in): -----

Hi, If say ppc where LDFLAGS=, you get the problem that klcc is generated like: ----- @LDFLAGS = ( '' ) ----- which then causes '' to get passed to ld, which gives: ----- /usr/bin/ld: : No such file: No such file or directory ----- One of two ways (I tried over here at least) to fix it, namely the quick hack: ----- --- 1/makeklcc.pl 2005-03-10 00:22:03.000000000 +0200

Hi, I hope this is the right list for initramfs questions. First I noticed: with initrd I can use real-root-device and pivot_root mechanisms. with initramfs only pivot_root works. My init (or linuxrc) scripts end like this: mount -t xfs -n -o ro /dev/mapper/root /new-root umount -n /sys || true umount -n /dev || true umount -n /proc || true cd /new-root pivot_root . initrd exec chroot .

working fine with glibc. thanks!

Hi, please correct me if I'm wrong: - the kernel needs enough ram for the compressed initramfs and the same files decompressed, so it can decompress the files and boot the /init on the initramfs. - if the kernel does not have enough ram, it will kernel panic. my tests were done on a server with 256 mb ram and a 80MB compressed initrd. I removed some packages and now it fits and the

a bit unrelated, still I wonder: does syslinux contain an mbr? or does anyone know any app that contains an mbr and can install it, without overwriting the partition table? my experience is, that is wise to have an mbr and use the active flag to select the active partition (which might have a bootmanager installed). however every linux distribution I know installed the bootloader such as

Hi, So far with the latest changes the projects I am trying to port works fine, except for a mismatch on what is considered the ansi behaviour of islower() in ctype.h: ----- i = 220 islower (i) = 0, ISLOWER (i) = 0 toupper (i) = 220, TOUPPER (i) = 220 i = 221 islower (i) = 0, ISLOWER (i) = 0 toupper (i) = 221, TOUPPER (i) = 221 i = 222 islower (i) = 0, ISLOWER (i) = 0 toupper (i) = 222, TOUPPER

Hi, I'm using initramfs with pivot_root mechanism to mount my real root directory. I notived the gentoo halt.sh script tries to unmount everything on shutdown. That includes /initrd. The kernel seems to freeze immideatly. Do you have the same problems? Regards, Andreas CONFIG_X86=y CONFIG_MMU=y CONFIG_UID16=y CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP=y CONFIG_CLEAN_COMPILE=y

I've been working on a buildrelease.sh script to call hg2dist.sh, export debian/ from svn and run dpkg-source for me. When I ran dpkg-source I noticed that it gave warnings regarding the *.dpatch files being chmod 0755 is there any reason to maintain this within the repository or would 0644 suffice and remove these warnings from dpkg-source?

Currently, our clients not only can login to their mailboxes with their e-mail address but also with their accountid. Both the clients e-mail address and accountid are stored in ldap.

I just also wanted to mention that I have the current released source tarballs downloaded and placed at http://people.debian.org/~jbouse/xen/ at this time. As the only way to get the source tarballs I've found is via bittorrent unless you want to give your email address I'll continue to keep the the current tarball located there. That is one thing that I noticed about Ralph's

Looking through the build files I'm wondering if we can't do some clean-up and remove extraneous kruft before we release. Like the config.dbs and the README.build that talks about the config.dbs. From looking through the build setup I don't see either file actually critically needed and looks like Ralph may have come to a similar conclusion by the comments added to the README.build

Hello list, I need/want to build imaptest -- and I can only build it against at least dovecot 1.2 . dovecot 1.2 actually builds just fine but at the end I get the following linker error: /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -O2 -pipe -std=gnu99 -Wall -ftree-dce -ftree-dse -ftree-loop-optimize -ftree-loop-linear -I/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.1/include -Wall -W

I've just been trying to catch up with the posts already so figured I'd just start another thread as it seemed I would address things from multiple emails. I really need to get my sieve filter script updated to move the list emails into the proper folder now I guess :) We can play with the revision of the packaging during testing. One idea would be to use 3.0.1-0.YYYYMMDD for

Hi I had some doubts regarding what all the init application should do: >> so, that should that application do? >> - mount /dev/hda1 /new-root >> - cd /new-root >> - run-init 1. Of what I understand, before exitting, init should mount the realroot and execute the init process. Is realroot the '/' or the empty directory created (in the cpio archive) ?

__FD_SET, __FD_CLR, __FD_ISSET, __FD_ZERO are inside of __KERNEL__ in: include/asm-ia64/posix_types.h and therefore not available. I've added stuff like this to our code: #ifndef __FD_SET #define __FD_SET(d, set) ((set)->fds_bits[__FDELT(d)] |= __FDMASK(d)) #endif but it would be nice if this can be solved in klibc. Thanks, Kay

Hi I am looking at inserting functions in the early user space and want to use initramfs for this. I understand this can be achieved using 'initrd' or by making changes in the 'usr/gen_init_cpio.c' file. Can someone kindly give me pointers as to how to go about this. I am looking at the 2.6.x kernel. Thanks Rachita.

Hi, Here's a try at writing an initramfs HOWTO. This is basically a write-up of a number of interesting emails I collected over time. It could probably use an editor, more fact-checking and a bunch of other good things, but it should be better than nothing ;-) Daniel -------------- next part -------------- INITRAMFS HOWTO 0) What are klibc and initramfs?

Hello, I installed Samba 3.0.24 on my AIX 5.3 and configured it to authenticate users via winbind. I followed the previous thread 'Samba on AIX --> nsswitch.conf', copied WINBIND to /usr/lib/security and modified the default: stanza in /etc/security/user to include WINBIND (in the SYSTEM and registry entry, respectively). Additionally, I added an entry in /usr/lib/security/methods.cfg.
